David,With all due respect, my first post in this thread was directed to the author that began it, and I stated my opinion.Now read Holger's first response to me, and take note of his attack on me instead of the merits of my claim.If you believe that I will not defend myself or my opinions you should maybe take issue with Holger, and then look at Ron's posts to me, and then Paul's. Their posts to me was an attack on me instead of my views.Can you honestly not see that. Mine were simply responses to their attacks on me personally instead of their contrary opinions.My opinions stated facts as to pricing, and I stand by what I wrote.Please read the posts in order of when they were made.Grab My FREEWARE Voice recognition Profiles here:[a href=http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?CatID=fs2004misc&DLID=58334]Cessna 172 Voice Profile[/a][a href=http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?CatID=fs2004misc&DLID=60740]FSD Avanti Voice Profile[/a].You will need the main FREEWARE Flight Assistant program to use it, get it here:[a href=http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?CatID=genutils&DLID=39661]Flight Assistant 2.2[/a]

You asked this of another developer, and we quote...."Perhaps if you as a developer released profits, actual costs, data costs, maybe we can understand the high costs, small area justifications that you attempt in your pricing scheme."Note: You asked them to release business information....seems you asked them to do it first and did not offer to reciprocate until challenged.Seems your definition of integrity needs tweaking:-)

Joe you really are heading off the deep end here. You are alienating the people you trying to 'save' from the evils of payware. I read your ranting and it makes me want to buy payware, ANYTHING!!!Please leave your ideals at home for a bit and cool off, you need it...

"I'll need to see how many airports it contains that are longer than 3 or 4,000ft though."There are several in the general vicinity of Anchorage such as PANC, PAMR, PABV, PAFR and PAED and a couple more. There are no airports farther from the city with runways longer than about 2000' however, so you're pretty much stuck flying around Anchorage itself and the immediate surroundings. Another point worth keeping in mind is that city scenery is the most dissapointing part of the addon. The colours throughout the scenery are dull, but city textures in particular are very nearly black and white. The scenery is best explored with a STOL capable plane or amphibian as this unlocks the mountains and lakes for exploration.If anyone has any further on-topic questions I'd be happy to address those as I already have this addon.

By the way guys the scenery looks great and congrats to the developers:-)

Tony,Each person can choose to view or not view this thread. A lot of the views I would guess are from those participating in the discussion.As for my ideals, why is it ok for you to opine your ideals just now, but not me? If it makes you want to go buy payware, congratulations and I hope you enjoy it.But as for cooling off, I'm in a great mood, had a physical a couple of weeks ago, blood pressure great, cholesterol in the good zone, blood sugar normal, colon about the right size. All is good. So thanks for expressing your ideals, I appreciate it.And I'm not trying to save people from payware, I'm expressing my opinions of some payware, not all, but some, that I feel are questionable in their tactics, pricing schemes, and methods. There are many others who do very good work, that I find enjoyable, have purchased, and have what I consider ethical standards that meet my expectations.And as long as I am truthful, the facts are the facts. It always amazes me when I write an opinion, get personally attacked and you folks start badgering me while giving free passes to the ones attacking me instead of the opinions. Now that is too funny. :-lol :-lolTalk about Hypocrites. :-)Regards,JoeGrab My FREEWARE Voice recognition Profiles here:[a href=http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?CatID=fs2004misc&DLID=58334]Cessna 172 Voice Profile[/a][a href=http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?CatID=fs2004misc&DLID=60740]FSD Avanti Voice Profile[/a].You will need the main FREEWARE Flight Assistant program to use it, get it here:[a href=http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?CatID=genutils&DLID=39661]Flight Assistant 2.2[/a]

But as I've said in another thread, it's kind of par for the course here that as soon as something gets released, someone rolls up and says the usual "this is too expensive, and I'm not going to buy it."ricardo

"If you believe that I will not defend myself or my opinions you should maybe take issue with Holger, and then look at Ron's posts to me, and then Paul's. Their posts to me was an attack on me instead of my views."

The thread was about the addon itself - it's content - no one asked about value or price. I think people can make that decision on their own.

Subject:"Georender Alaska Photgraphic - Opinions?"Again, you gloss over the attacks on me, only to further now question a person's choice to voice an opinion as was asked in the subject of the thread.wow... :-lol :-lolI guess all their actions are ok in your and some others books huh?Talk about Hypocrisy....Well, I have my integrity. :-)Grab My FREEWARE Voice recognition Profiles here:[a href=http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?CatID=fs2004misc&DLID=58334]Cessna 172 Voice Profile[/a][a href=http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?CatID=fs2004misc&DLID=60740]FSD Avanti Voice Profile[/a].You will need the main FREEWARE Flight Assistant program to use it, get it here:[a href=http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?CatID=genutils&DLID=39661]Flight Assistant 2.2[/a]

Poor Joe, he can attack anyone, anytime, anywhere, with anything, he pleases under the guize of freedom of speech.Then whines when challenged with a different view than his own.Why not take responsibilty for your owns words instead of whining?

>By the way guys the scenery looks great and congrats to the>developers:-)>Many thanks for that. When I asked the original question it was with the intention of gleaning opinions from those that had actually bought it and loved it/disliked it. I wasn't really looking for opinions from those that had no intention of buying it. Sorry if my question was unclear. Why is it that these type of threads often end up as a slanging match? :-roll

No problem:-) Sorry it got out of hand. Just took a look at the screenshots and am amazed at the quality! I'm usually too busy to add scenery to my machine but if I were in the market right now I'd pick this one up right away!Great job guys:-)

I'm not whining, I'm pointing out the hyporcrisy that is demonstrated here.I firmly take heed of my words, I actually think before I post, and use facts and the truth.And More typical Ron, how are those books coming along Ron, book that booth yet, or were you just blowing smoke. ;-lol :-lolGrab My FREEWARE Voice recognition Profiles here:[a href=http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?CatID=fs2004misc&DLID=58334]Cessna 172 Voice Profile[/a][a href=http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?CatID=fs2004misc&DLID=60740]FSD Avanti Voice Profile[/a].You will need the main FREEWARE Flight Assistant program to use it, get it here:[a href=http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?CatID=genutils&DLID=39661]Flight Assistant 2.2[/a]
